Abstract

The invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis and/or purification of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) alkanoates and/or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) di-alkanoates. The invention also provides novel derivatives of CBDA di-alkanoates and THCA alkanoates according to Formula I, wherein R¹=methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-cyclohex-1-ene-3-yl (limonenyl); wherein R²=acetate, propionate, butyrate, or OH; wherein R³=propyl, pentyl, or heptyl; wherein R⁴=methyl, ethyl, or propyl; wherein R⁵=methyl, ethyl, or propyl, or wherein R¹=methyl-4-(2-propyl)cyclohex-1-ene-3-yl or methyl-4-(2-propyl)-cyclohex-5-ene-3-yl, wherein R²═O, and R¹ and R² together form a ring structure in which R² is an internal ring atom, wherein R³=propyl, pentyl, or heptyl, wherein R⁴=methyl, ethyl, or propyl, and wherein R⁵=methyl, ethyl, or propyl, or wherein R¹=methyl-4-(2-propyl)-cyclohex-1-ene-3-yl, wherein R²═O, and R¹ and R² together form a ring structure in which R² is an internal ring atom, wherein R³=propyl, pentyl, or heptyl, wherein R⁴ and R⁵ vanish, i.e. are radicals forming a direct bond to each other.
